Woo Hoo, it is world Kindness Day! :~) I love it!
Love these quotes! I would like to think I’m contributing by doing my volunteering (writing letters to deployed military men and women) and making a small (but genuine) contribution to helping a fellow blogger’s sister’s medical expenses. I feel like through the year’s as I’ve become a little less naive, I’ve also lost patience and my ability to be as kind. Here’s to reversing that damage and holding onto something the world needs more of – kindness. 🙂 Thanks for sharing these awesome sayings.
